Come on, make trouble!

[Ding~! Congratulations to the host for successfully killing an enemy! Randomly plundering a ninjutsu--]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the ninjutsu 'Lightning Style: Sandal Boruto']

"Two more."

Uchiha Ryosuke looked coldly at the other two, not even bothering to check the system's notification.

Because he knew very well that in this current situation, he could not afford the slightest distraction.

Either kill all these people, or he would die without a burial place.

There was no third option.

"Damn brat."

The scarred ninja looked at his companion's death, his expression cold and grim. "I underestimated you, Uchiha!"

The scarred ninja's eyes were filled with killing intent, but he quickly calmed down.

He knew he could not kill him.

Why had they gone to such great lengths to capture Hinata?

Was it not for her eyes!

And the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan was even more precious than the Byakugan.

Capturing one was capturing, and capturing two was also capturing.

Besides, it was a buy-one-get-one-free deal; even a fool wouldn't give that up!

"Break his limbs!"

The scarred ninja had experienced the Third Great Ninja War and possessed rich combat experience.

He immediately judged that Uchiha Ryosuke's existence posed a massive threat to them.

Without hesitation, he threw the kunai in his hands, aiming for Uchiha Ryosuke's limbs!

The scarred ninja's smile gradually turned ferocious.

Although he indeed could not kill this brat, he could certainly torture him!

He could still live even with his limbs severed.

Regardless, all they wanted were his eyes.

Sonido!

"Clack!"

Uchiha Ryosuke narrowly dodged the several kunai flying toward him, his figure reappearing not far away.

Cold sweat poured down.

For his five-year-old body, the burden of Sonido was simply too great.

That was why he did not choose to run.

Because although he had Sonido, ninjas also had the Body Flicker Technique.

Having just acquired Sonido, he was certainly not as proficient as the opponent's Body Flicker.

His speed might not even compare to theirs.

Moreover, he had consumed a massive amount of chakra just from awakening his eyes.

His remaining chakra could barely support him using Sonido a few more times.

It was simply not enough to escape.

Therefore, the only thing he could do now was stall!

Stall until the Uchiha clan arrives, stall until the Hyuga clan arrives!

Uchiha Ryosuke gritted his teeth, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

In the original story, Hyuga Hiashi should have chased after them and killed all these people.

He had only just obtained the system; he mustn't die before his journey even began!

[Ding! Temporary missions released (can be declined)]

[Mission 1: Ensure your own safety and hold out until reinforcements arrive. Mission Reward: 1000 EXP]

[Mission 2: Rescue Hinata. Mission Reward: 2000 EXP]

"Body Flicker Technique?"

The scarred ninja gave a cold laugh. "Should I say as expected of a genius from the Uchiha clan?"

The Sharingan was truly worthy of being the number one eye in the world.

A brat who had only just awakened his eyes could actually possess such astonishing combat power.

In fact, were it not for the Hyuga clan being born with the Byakugan in such great numbers, the situation would be different.

The Sharingan, however, requires a certain probability to awaken; not every member of the Uchiha clan possesses one.

Furthermore, most Uchiha who have already awakened their eyes are quite formidable and difficult to capture.

Otherwise, they would not have gone to such lengths to kidnap the young lady of the Hyuga clan.

"System, use all experience points to increase my chakra!"

Uchiha Ryosuke gritted his teeth as he looked at the few people opposite him, speaking without hesitation.

It was clearly too late to spend experience points learning new ninjutsu on the fly; it would be better to have more chakra to use Sonido a few more times!

[Ding! Spent 1000 experience points to increase chakra!]

[Experience Points: 0]

[Chakra: 600/1100]

A surge of vigorous life energy poured into Uchiha Ryosuke's body, raising his chakra limit.

At the same time, it replenished a portion of the chakra he had already expended.

"Even if you are a genius, this is where it ends!"

The scarred ninja's expression hardened, and with a swift turn, he lunged directly toward Uchiha Ryosuke.

Sonido!

Uchiha Ryosuke teleported away without hesitation; he knew he absolutely could not let the opponent get close!

The massive disparity in their physical builds would leave him with no way to fight back!

Even with the previous ninja, he had only succeeded by exploiting the man's carelessness.

It was only by seizing the moment the man was distracted by his eyes that he could launch a surprise attack and succeed.

Otherwise, even dealing with an ordinary genin would not have been so easy.

"Damn brat!"

The scarred ninja's expression turned grim as he stared fixedly at Uchiha Ryosuke, who was panting heavily across from him.

At the same time, Uchiha Ryosuke's heart was far from calm.

To say he felt nothing after killing for the first time would be a lie.

He was no psychopath.

But he knew even more clearly that if he did not kill them, they would kill him.

Moreover, he would likely suffer torture before death.

By comparison, sending them on their way quickly was practically an act of mercy.

They don't dare to kill me!

Uchiha Ryosuke watched the remaining two ninjas, gasping for air.

Although the situation was critical, Uchiha Ryosuke was analyzing the current state of affairs with great composure.

He knew that the opponent could not possibly use ninjutsu against him.

Not to mention that they might accidentally kill him if they were not careful.

Furthermore, the commotion caused by using ninjutsu here would be too great and would attract others.

The reason they chose to target Hinata was not only because she was from the main branch, but also because they saw she was young and unable to resist.

Moreover, if they accidentally killed him, he would lose all value.

Because the eyes of a dead Uchiha would rot.

Otherwise, they would have killed Hinata long ago, gouged out her eyes, and fled.

After all, running away with a pair of eyes is certainly easier than running away with a person.

Since the opponent dared not kill him, that was his greatest advantage.

"Hoo!"

Uchiha Ryosuke stared intensely at the two people opposite him; the female ninja was still holding Hinata hostage.

She should be unable to attack for the time being.

In other words, the only one who could truly attack was the scarred ninja.

According to the judgment of [Pesquisa].

This guy should only be at the level of a chunin.

The male ninja and the female ninja killed earlier must have been nothing more than genin.

Although Uchiha Ryosuke himself was only a genin, that did not necessarily mean he lacked the potential to fight!

"Kid, you really are interesting."

The scarred ninja's grin grew increasingly savage and deranged, giving the female ninja beside him a bad premonition.

"I really am starting to want to torture you more and more!"

The scarred ninja's figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

Uchiha Ryosuke took a deep breath and used Sonido once again.

Even though it placed a massive burden on his body, he had no other choice!
